Does valknut start now? Maybe new upstream version fixed that? I know changes in packaging didn't. > > Bug #269952 was not a request for packaging the new upstream version; it > was a report about broken icons. Are the Icons fixed now? Maybe new upstream version fixed that?

But "New upstream version" is not why this bug was closed. does the new version have a corrected strings? Maybe new upstream version fixed that?

If new upstream version corrects bug, isn't it right close the bug? I had an impression that changelog is meant for the changes in packaging. If I haven't changed package in any way which has something to do with bug, what can I say? Ok, I can start adding upstream changelog items to debian changelog too when it deals bugs, if that is wanted. and IF you had read the package changelog from /usr/share/doc/valknut/changelog.Debian.gz you should have noticed that, I have always "said something relevant" when it dealt packaging. Random attack is fun, isn't it? Regards, Pasi Savilaakso
